Temperature interface

For our first project in this module we had to group up and make an interface for showing information picked up by an ecoid. Our group consisted of Connor, Adam, Aj and me, and we decided as a team that we wanted to present the temperature information picked up by the ecoid. After a quick discussion we decided we wanted to present the information in a creative and interesting way, so after a few minutes of brainstorming we decided to have the seasons represent the temperature; hot temperatures showing a summer scene, cold temperature showing a winter scene and so on.

We then decided to have an image of a city as the main image, and have the seasons change in the city but because we had limited time we cut it down to a singular tree. Adam and Connor did the research and me and Aj made the graphics, me doing the tree and her doing the sky.

All in all I liked our idea, although it was a bit abstract for some people as it doesn't relay the exact temperature. If I could do it again I would add more aspects instead of just temperature and I would had made a little box to show the exact temperature as I feel just the tree on it's own is a bit too abstract.
